- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time

How it works
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. In summer, Fittleworth has daylight until about 9:20pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In December, with dark by about 4:00pm, lunchtime is best.
- We start with the date and numbers.
- We agree the cooking spot and quote.
- The roast starts early.
- We carve and serve where you choose.
- We clear away quietly.
How to prepare
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
